The Bond of Our Love

CHAPTER 46- What Is This Feeling??!

Lesti approached Rahul and held his shoulder gently.

"If your heart is sure that your wife is alive, then Mama will always support you. We both pray and try yes, to find Mama's daughter-in-law. Mama's sorry yes, all this time Mama never understood your feelings. Mama left you when you needed Mama's support.

But I promise you, if it never happens again. Because you and Gala are Mama's most precious treasure. And Mama doesn't want to lose that treasure again"

Lesti said with sadness. Makes Rahul feel touched. A smile flashed on his handsome face. Rahul holds Lesti's hand and kisses her gently.

"Yes Ma. I am also sorry, so far I have made Mama sad with my attitude and words. Right now, I am in desperate need of your support and prayers. Please pray for Zahra to come back to me. Said Mr. Umar, the marbot I met while still in the village, a mother's prayer is very mustajab. There is no curtain that covers it or prevents it from reaching God"

Lirih Rahul was hopeful. Making Lesti's eyes glazed over because of her haru feelings. Their relationship has improved after a dispute a few months ago.

He was very happy to see his son change into an increasingly mature and religious one, always carrying out his five-time duty and respecting it more.

He was convinced it was all because of the influence of his wife Zahra. She was so grateful that her son could find the right woman. But unfortunately, now the woman does not know where the limb is.

"Yes Nak. Mama will always pray for you and Zahra. For your happiness. Mama was very happy, because you asked for a prayer from Mama. Yeah, let's go down now. The show will start soon" Invite Lesti later.

Yes, tonight is the night that she will celebrate the anniversary of her wedding with Helmi the thirty years.

"Yes, Mama go first. I'm gonna change my clothes first"

"Yes already, and a handsome man yes" Gurau Lesti.

"Yes my dear Mama" Rahul replied to his mother's joke.

*********

The black Aston Martin car driven by Dawn finally arrived at the Dirgantara residence, after traveling approximately seven hours from Magelang to Jakarta.

Dawn came down first then opened the door for Shreya.

Shreya stared at the luxurious house in front of him. Not because he felt amazed to see the elite building like a palace that was the place of the party. But because his heart felt that there was something in there, that made his heart beat.

"Come" The voice of Dawn's invitation made Shreya startled and nodded.

The two also walked mingling with the invited guests who came before and after them, heading into the house where the party was held in a luxurious and massive, after being greeted with respect by the guards and security officers who were on duty escorting the event.

They had arrived and were about to enter, but the sound of Fajar's cell phone stopped their steps. Dawn reached into the phone from her pants pocket and stared at the screen.

"You go in first. I'll pick up the phone for a second"

"Yes well" replied Shreya obediently continuing his steps into the house.

Fajar turned around to find a quiet place, to talk to the person who contacted him.

********

While the inside is full and crowded with the presence of men and women from different generations, but one group is the upper class or rank. It was clearly visible from their appearance that looked neat, clean and elegant.

Rahul descends the stairs leading him to the first floor where the party is taking place.

His visuals and handsome, handsome and charming appearance instantly made him the center of attention of women who were fascinated to see him so that their eyes could not blink, like seeing a handsome prince without his white horse.

Rahul returned the gazes full of admiration from the female guest with a cold look. He was not the least bit concerned or interested in being made the center of attention by the women.

Amora who is also being one of the hundreds of people who enliven and crowded the event, could not shake his admiration when he saw the figure of Rahul who was so handsome and dashing. Plus the outfit he wears. Which makes her look more charming.

He admitted that the man had a million charms, which made him feel like a lucky woman for conquering his heart. But damn it first!!

It is also his fault for releasing the man, so that he can fall in the arms of a village girl named Zahra whose origins are unclear. Remembering that fact made his heart feel hot!!

He became curious, what kind of woman had made Rahul so crazy? When they were with him, he was still blind. Then with what did the woman conquer Rahul if not with her beauty?

"Ra, it's Rahul. Quickly approach him. If necessary make her bend her knees again to you" whispered Naomi who was standing next to Amora.

"Oh Ma, I'm tired. Mama thought it was easy, approaching Rahul who has now turned into a refrigerator man? He rejected me many times. Just yesterday Mama Lesti was almost suspicious of her attitude towards me. If this continues, there will be a long time I will be kicked as his wife Gala, when Rahul still did not succeed I have" Sanggah Amora lazily.

"Yes, yes, too. Ouch..... Why the hell, now that kid is so hard to approach? Padahalkan, it used to be so easy for you to get his heart. How can he turn 180 degrees celsius?"

"Yes.... Maybe he was too hurt, because I left him blind. And that's all because of Mama" replied Amora ketus.

"Why, because of Mama? You also agreed with my mother's plan. How is Mama to blame?" Resist Naomi who felt she could not be blamed by her son.

"But it was all Mama's idea. If only Mama hadn't suggested it, I wouldn't have agreed to it either!"

When the mother and child are engrossed in their debate about Rahul, like a child who does not accept each other's blame, Rahul himself steps toward the door.

His heart felt thumping. It was as if a magnet was pulling his body to continue walking towards the door, breaking through the crowd of invited guests who kept coming.

A beautiful white woman who is none other than Shreya, seems to walk into the house with other guests who accidentally cross paths with her. Her distended stomach stood out behind the long gold-colored dress layered in black tulle cloth she wore.

The woman continued to walk in, while Rahul continued to walk towards the door until the two passed each other without looking at each other among the crowd of guests.

But accidentally their arms touched. The gold bracelet that was coiled in Shreya's hand was stuck on the long arm of the suit worn by Rahul. Sensing that something was pulling his arm, the two of them both turned around.

DEG!!

The gazes of their eyes met and instantly locked with bodies glued to each other. Rahul did not understand what he felt when he saw this woman in front of him. His heart feels racing. The feeling of warmth and tranquility was very real felt throughout his body.

And that is also what Shreya felt when he saw the face of a man who felt familiar in his eyes. What is this feeling exactly? Even this kind of feeling she did not feel towards the Dawn that her own husband had.

For a long time their eyes were fixed in silence. It seems that they are no longer aware of the presence of people around them. Either the feeling of the two was floating around behind the gaze of their eyes that were adrift with each other.

"Rahul, are you here, son?" The sound of Lesti's reprimand was still unable to break the silence between them. Their gazes are still not gone.

"Shreya, are you here? Sorry yes, I picked up the phone for a long time" Dawn appeared and immediately reprimanded Shreya.

But it seems that the woman is also still not aware of the presence of the man she knows as her husband. Both of his eyes still remained focused on looking at the man who had made him feel a strange and erratic feeling.

"Rahul, hey" Seeing his unmoved son Lesti again reprimanded by widening his voice while wagging his hands in front of Rahul's face.

Rahul is shocked and he instantly returns to reality, releasing the woman's eyes.

"Mmmm..... Yes Ma, why?" Ask Rahul in a daze. But instead of answering, Lesti's attention was on their hands.

"Gosh, this is why your hands get stuck like this? Here, try Mama freelanin huh?" Lesti tries to remove the bracelet in Shreya's hand that is stuck in her son's coat. But the bracelet did not come off. "Not hard?" Lesti Complaints.

"Let me a Aunt" Dawn took over Lesti's actions to release their hands. And he succeeded, the gold bracelet that was coiled in Shreya's wrist has now been released from Rahul's arm.

Rahul and Shreya looked at their hands blankly. It seemed that they were not willing the bond that was uniting them regardless.

"Away. You're okay, right?" Dawn asked Shreya anxiously.

"Yes, I'm fine" Shreya replied softly.
